Generation for the week
I’m grabbing data from the GivEnergy cloud because it draws pretty graphs, so I don’t have to.
Self consumption 52.07%
5 out of 7 days with more than 25kWh generated. Thursday the 25th was the worst day for generation with 16.23kWh and Saturday 27th was the best at 38.51kWh.
The solar forecast seems to be working much better now. Most days we imported nothing from the grid overnight but a few instances where the forecast isn’t returning data in time. This could be a performance issue with my pi 3B+. Looking at alternatives.
